Earlier This Afternoon

It began raining around 1600 hrs today...

...and it still hasn't stopped. It hasn't been a steady rain, more of an off-and-on, stop-and-go sorta thang, but there has been a lot of it. So much such so that the 17th Street Canal and Inter-City Waterway is beginning to reach navigable status. Yays!

It's nice and warm outside and the rain is mostly in a vertical plane, which is to say the verandah is reasonably dry. I do believe we'll tap that new bottle of JW Green I bought today, fire up a cigar, and go enjoy the show.

I haven't checked the almanac yet today, but it rained for a good solid two hours after I posted this last night. And it was a HARD rain, too! My street was totally flooded by the time I went indoors last evening, which is not a bad thing... it ALWAYS floods (drainage).

As for the JW Green... that's been the scotch of choice for nearly a year now (I checked my back pages: first post on JW Green was on 8/11/2011). I go through a bottle of that stuff every week. ;-)
